So I’ve discovered recently that instead the moderators and admins doing their due diligence, they’ll just ban your IP. I can’t wait for this to blow up in their face.

      They’re terrified of the tech savvy user, and that’s funny to me

      especially where Reddit are banned in some countries like China and Indonesia

      They’ve been temp banning various VPN IPs for a few years now, giving you a network error when you try to access reddit through the browser from a flagged IP. Although it’s been fine for the last couple weeks or so, but that might just be luck or the lack of me trying.

      They could just block VPNs but how about a house/apartment with multiple reddit users? Coffee shops? Libraries? Offices?

      This seems like it would come with a shitload of practical drawbacks, never mind the capricious nature of reddit bans in the first place.

      Their ban reporting is straight up broken and regularly abused by botnets, this will make that problem even worse.
